Answer:

  a_k=\left|\dfrac{k^2-3}{k^2+4}\right|;\text{ is nondecreasing for $k>2$}

  \lim\limits_{k \to \infty} a_k =1

  The series does not converge

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u> ...

  S=\displaystyle\sum\limits_{k=2}^{\infty}{x_k}\\\\x_k=(-1)^k\cdot\dfrac{k^2-3}{k^2+4}\\\\a_k=|x_k|

<u>Find</u>

  whether S converges.

<u>Solution</u>

The (-1)^k factor has a magnitude of 1, so the magnitude of term k can be written as ...

  \boxed{a_k=1-\dfrac{7}{k^2+4}}

This is non-decreasing for k>1 (all k-values of interest)

As k gets large, the fraction tends toward zero, so we have ...

  \boxed{\lim\limits_{k\to\infty}{a_k}=1}

Terms of the sum alternate sign, approaching a difference of 1. The series does not converge.

Vilka [71]

Answer:

         2x        -7

2x      4x²      -14x

-1       -2x        +7

Step-by-step explanation:

4x²-16x+7 factors as

(2x-7)(2x-1)

So the grid would be:

         2x        -7

2x      4x²      -14x

-1       -2x        +7
